These people sneaked across our border rather then entering our country in accordance with our laws, so they are here illegally. They are not American citizens, so the correct term for them is "illegal alien," not "undocumented worker" or "disfavored minority" or any other euphemism.

It's very difficult to believe that illegal aliens have developed a sudden desire to "do things right" when the first thing they did was to violate our immigration laws to come here and remain here illegally. It's a lot easier to believe that they are lusting after the additional benefits conveyed by a state driver's license. But if the pangs of conscience are becoming too distressing, it's good to know that there is a way for them to get a driver's license without having to go through a lawsuit. Simply come into our country legally, become a US citizen through naturalization, and then you can be issued a driver's license and enjoy the other benefits of citizenship. Start obeying our laws and you will find that you will not need to be filing lawsuits alleging discrimination.

And by the way, Norman Williams is a liar when he states that Republicans are "hostile toward immigration." Republicans and the majority of Americans are hostile toward ILLEGAL immigration. Leaving out the most important word in that sentence does not validate charges of xenophobia, racism, or hatred of Mexicans. It's just cheap liberal dishonesty, although that is something Americans have come to expect from many university professors.

Responsible journalists ensure that both sides of an issue are represented in every story. Why are there no quotes in this article from anyone who is in favor of Measure 88?
